I took my boat down to the barrier coat with a pressure washer and a turbo
nozzle. Short work. I'll never sand again.

Sorry for the late reply, but I've been traveling this month.
I use a pressure washer to remove the ablative paint on both of my boats
when I do the bottoms. I use Pettit ACP60 of Ultima SR, but used to use
Micron.
Your yard probably turns the pressure washer down to under 1800psi or so

Re chemical peelers. Several winters ago I started to try sanding off multiple

I do not think that a pressure wash (high pressure) will work well on
antifouling without damage to the gel coat.

Bob,
Can you rent a soda blaster in your area?
I looked at buying one from Harbor Freight a couple years ago. Can't recall any
details but I considered doing myself.
I know the yard where I haul out in Pensacola does a lot of soda blasting.
Sounds like a good way to go.

Bob,
For a point of reference, I paid $1700 to have my 35/3 soda blasted. I've
only stripped varnish, so I can't help you there. Have you searched
Sailnet?

I have been using Micron CSC for the past
Would a pressure washer work on a soft ablative paint? What psi would be
needed?

Bob,
I have no experience with any of these products. The last time I
stripped antifouling paint was in 1991 and after that, I swore I would
never do it again.
If your budget can afford it, have someone else do it. Soda blasting is
popular. Our current boat was stripped of years of antifo

Facing the nasty task of stripping the bottom paint off the C&C 29 mark 2
that I bought this spring.
It has 1 to 2 mm of blue ablative antifouling buildup that looks like the

I was thinking of trying one of the chemical paint strippers.
